Julio César Chávez Carrasco vs. Mario Abel Cázares Astorga RBR

Wait so Yeimi has to put a mask on (as do her team) but the greasy and not particularly hygenic-looking fuck interviewing her gets to free-ball it with his face out, just spitting his droplets all over everybody?

 

Chávez Sr. looks ancient in this commercial for (specifically the steaks at the dining room of) The Grand Hotel of Tijuana.

I can't believe he's (kind of) prizefighting at this stage. He looks "you'd be inclined to dash across the street to assist him crossing" old.

 

Goddamn, well if Julio Sr. looks older than Archaeopteryx - El Travieso is fatter than a Thanksgiving Turkey. Damn. At least aging you can't help and isn't reversible. Lollipop Cowboy is easily over 200lbs. I know he never seemed like a paragon of discipline, but how does an ex-champion let himself go that badly just six years into retirement? FFS, he's almost chunkier than Morales or El Chino!

 

...and whose idea was a backstage glimpse of Arce jumping rope?

 

He might be up next. Mercado vs. Rayas, garbage that it was, I believe was the co-main event of the sanctioned pro boxing portion of the show. The actual main event is JCC Sr. vs. Jorce Arce III (exhibition).

 

They're doing a ten bell memorial salute, "para nuestros hermanos y hermanas que fueron víctimas del covid".

 

So...the WBC made a special "Coronavirus belt" (like a third of the size of a normal championship, adorned with multicolored silhouettes of various stylized animal cracker shapes...) awarded posthumously to...well, all the people that died.

What a very awkward gesture.

 

Oh, huh, they're doing Sr. vs. Arce now I guess. They are going to actually let Jr. close the show.

More likely, Sr. doesn't want to have to muster the will to compete after being as disgusted and disappointed as usual following his son's act.

 

They're hyping this by showing highlights of JCC compiled from almost exclusively before the average boxing prospect today was born.

 

Julio César Chávez González vs. Jorge Armando Arce Armenta, some rounds @ whateverweight (exh)

 

Alright, they're off and...jiggling.

 

Good job, keeping shirts on.
